“Bull’s-eye,” the second song from The Liar’s Lullaby, is sung by WAMMIE Artist of the Year Patty Reese. Patty recorded the vocals in Virginia with Goose Creek Music.
But the rest of the music was laid down at Ghost Studios in Ripley, Surrey, by Definitely Arson.

Yes, I sent a friend and all the guys in my family into the studio, demanding: Music. Now! Make it good!
I think they did.
The Husband wrote the music to go with the lyrics from the novel. He and my sons brought it to life. And while Ghost Studios didn’t look like much — being in a ramshackle stable in the middle of the countryside — the session provided a few surprises. You’d hope it would, since it’s in Eric Clapton’s hometown. When the recording engineer brought out a microphone for Mark’s drum kit, the mike had a name taped to it. Sting.
It seems the engineer had worked with some good musicians. So it was fairly awesome when the guy asked Mark if he was available for session work. (They’re always looking for drummers around these parts — it’s Spinal Tap country, and they need players who won’t self combust.)
Okay, I’ll stop being a braggy mom now.
No, who am I kidding? Here’s Nate, recording the main riff and the bridge:
